CONDITION = Good vintage condition - no damage found to note. Some adhesive can be seen when viewing the red rhinestone under 10x magnification and there is minor enamel wear that I think adds to the vintage look and charm in this case. Small amount of normal rhinestone foil wear from age and use. In an excellent state of preservation
"A picture is worth a thousand words"
Please view & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged and not mentioned. Especially if obvious and/or prominent in the photos. Individuals do have varying levels of desire and tolerance for "vintage charm" so do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all, as they are an integral part and extension of the description.
